What changed, and made PA 2010 slightly slower than PA 2009 was that compression engine is now loaded from the start up vs loading when used in PA 2009. So that adds slight delay at the start where that delay was previously there when you started adding or extracting from archives in PA 2009.

Keep in mind that I lost my custom button arrangement (not using any outside skin or anything just had my button setup in my own way in the configuration menu) when i deleted the registry key so that may be a factor.

I need to catch the Zzzz train so this will be my last post for the night.

I leave my computer on as I mentioned and I guess after a while (number of hours) it “resets” back to 12 seconds on the first run and then a few seconds for the subsequent runs. This will repeat the next day when I come back from work so no way to know how many hour until the next "reset"back to 12 sec.

It’s something to do with the custom bars ( I use the classic buttons NOT the ribbon btw) and/or the registration. I do hope you guys get to the bottom of this.

I agree with wulffra - the information should also be in the About Box. That’s where I went (and pretty much always go) when I want full details on the version (both build and licensing-wise) of software installed on a machine

Hi @Chris-Steinbeck-Bell
There definitely isn’t a problem with your license, it just seems that it does not have the Advanced Codec Pack(.PA format) included. We did have a couple of earlier 2018 versions where the .PA format was unlocked while it was not supposed to and that was a bug. Upon solving the bug, it worked as intended, for PowerArchiver users who have the advanced codec pack.
You may renew your license through your account at www.conexware.com/shop, which will include the .Pa format as well.

@IkarusOfGreece i am sorry to be annoying, but we need them in separate threads, or at least posts, that way I could move them to another thread manually, since it is 2 different problems, they need to be troubleshoot separately.
Thanks again and I apologize for making you work extra.

Yes, while we have been bickering here about DLLs and EXEs vs native implementations; someone has actually improved something
